Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TAKUMI³ at 4.8 against VOEZ's 4.3. TAKUMI³ also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). VOEZ's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 340) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VOEZ sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and TAKUMI³ sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TAKUMI³ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.5K and 340 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of VOEZ's written reviews are positive against 63% of TAKUMI³'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VOEZ ships an update every 4 months, TAKUMI³ every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
